Life art of the soul
Vivian Casey
‘Life’, ‘Lively’, that’s the definition of my name (Vivian).
I love creating a painting, it’s like bringing something to life with each new piece! Transforming a room with positive energy through color, theme and texture.
After grieving the tragic loss of a child in 2006, I was at a point of desperation, trying to find my purpose in this world again and was re-awakened to life by what creating art brings to me (and viewers) in a very real and healing way. Healing, excitement, adventure, creativity, passion, closeness with God. All the things I had missed but desperately desired and longed for was restored to me in new inspiring ways!
I love animals and flowers and all kinds of beautiful things in nature and even beautiful man made structures. I believe that I was given a talent by God to share His beautiful creation in this world through the use of paint and canvas. I try to relate the love and His Blessings to us all through my art. I hope that collectors of my work can be touched in some way that says ‘stop and smell the roses’ for a moment and reflect on the joy and beauty that has been given to us each new day.
I paint because it brings me joy, but also with the goal to bring joy to the lives and homes of others.
In this life of so much uncertainty, I create my paintings to give the viewers a momentary escape from reality, like they could walk right into the painting and feel no more stress and worry. Maybe even feel a little bit of excitement and adventure. A real soul rejuvenation!
Each painting I create is a reflection of where I long to be or of one of God’s creatures that I have fallen in love with, that I find captivating and beautiful.
Creating both positive and uplifting paintings that have lots of movement and life in them is my joy. The commissions that I do for my clients are always fun and sometimes challenging but that’s exciting to me to watch as something I may not be very familiar with reveals itself out of a white canvas! Keep ’em coming! 🙂
Blending realism with fantasy to create intrigue is fun too, it takes me out of my own head, keeping each piece of my art unique! Not playing by the ‘rules’ of my medium keeps my work FREEING, which I put great importance on in my life!
I strive to continue creating art that lightens the heart,
puts a smile on one’s face, rejuvenates and heals the soul and brings peace to the mind.
My life is living proof that it’s really true;
‘From out of the ashes, something beautiful is made’!
Let’s create some beautiful art!!
